The thorough and timely manner in which you handled the problem here on Cascade was much appreciated. Without exception, your people were thoughtful, considerate, and professional. I felt you and your company handled my problem efficiently and carefully, and that we were in good hands.

Overall one of the better EMPs ever submitted to the Departments Solid Waste Section, thank you for putting this together.

Thank you for your assistance through this circus of errors, misinformation, lack of communication, and inefficiency. At times it seemed beyond redemption. Your project manager was magnificent, and we wish to emphasize that he had the only clear mind, the only steady hand, the only source of common sense in the whole battery of bureaus, departments, and businesses

Thank you, Steve! You have no idea how much I appreciate the way you have handled this

EPA announced final amendments to the SPCC Rules On November 5, 2009. The final amendments revise the December 2008 amendments following considerations presented by the regulated community. Final revision to the December 2008 rule removes provisions to: exclude farms and oil production facilities from the loading/unloading rack requirements; exempt produced water containers at an oil production facility; and provide alternative qualified facilities eligibility criteria for an oil production facility. The revised rule is effective January 14, 2010. The EPA has extended the compliance date for the revisions for all facilities until November 10, 2011. All facilities, including farms, must amend or prepare, and implement SPCC Plans by the compliance date in accordance with revisions to the SPCC rule promulgated since 2002.
